The Ohio House on Wednesday voted to override Gov. Mike DeWine's, R, veto of a ban on gender-related treatments for minors and transgender participation in school sports on teams that do not align with their sex.

The House voted 65-28 in favor of overriding his veto of House Bill 68, The Hill reported. Republicans have a supermajority in the state Senate and are expected to hold their own vote later this month.

DeWine last month vetoed the gender treatment restrictions and the transgender sports ban, saying "I believe parents rather than government should be making those important medical decisions."

His veto drew considerable scrutiny from Republicans, including form former President Donald Trump, who declared that "DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left." DeWine subsequently signed an executive order banning gender surgeries for minors, but not other forms of transgender treatments.

“this will certainly shorten DeWine’s political career, aka, toast”

He’s been in office since at LEAST 1982. He couldn’t possibly have had more than another 20 years after this anyway, LOL.

Bravo to Ohio Republican legislators for doing the right thing.

He believes parents should be able to decide to cut their kid's nuts off?

Oh sure. He has a long history of being a milquetoast RINO and wins over and over. During Covid, he was right up there with Cuomo and Gavin Newsom as crazy lockdown happy Nazis. Then he easily won re-nomination for governor after receiving Trump's endorsement. But THIS TIME, he is surely done.

So DeWitless, does that include tobacco? Alcohol? Prescription drugs? Underage sex? Under 16 driving? Guns? Bic lighters? Charcoal fluid? etc.

DeWhine did sign the Constitutional Carry law, and I had hopes for him when he did. Alas, he reverted to type.

Lest it be forgotten, Ohio is a Red State now, with a few blue islands.
